When building say the KDE 4 packages from SVN, where is one supposed to get the orig tarball? Are you supposed to download and create it yourself?

Ana, who is really looking forward to upload kde4libs this weekend.

Since the binary package names conflict anyway (kdelibs-bin), I don''t think the source package names need to be different.

(IOW, kdelibs4 should not go away when kdelibs5 appears in unstable.) Cheers, -- Adeodato Sim? dato at net.com.org.es Debian Developer adeodato at debian.org Listening to: Franz Ferdinand - This Fire

So nevermind. Upload away. :-)
